CONTRACTING ABUSES.
The Live Stock Shippers at work-A
Letter From the Secretary.


Letter From the Secretary.
The Live Stock Shippers Association
OF Nebraska, which was only recently
organized, promises to be grand benefit
to the shippers and to the general live
stock interests of the state. The assoca.
tion is already at work remedying certain
abuses against which the shippers have
been forced to struggle for years. One
of these abuses, which the association is
in fair way Of putting stop to, is the
practice of certain commission firms in
sending out buyers who compete with
the regular buyers and attempt to force
them to consigning their shipments to
them. 1t has been denied that this is
eyer done and some commission firms
claim that the shippers are misinformed,
as was recently published in an Omaha
paper. John Wiggins, of Columbus, one
of the best known shippers in the state,
and the secretary of the Nebraska Live
Stock Shippers association, has the fol.
lowing to say on the subject:
The shippers are rightly informed and
there are commission men or their represen-
tatives In the country who solicit consign-
ments and when not able to get the stock Of
fer to buy and do buy as can be proven by
good witnesses. there are cases where such
tain territory for bonus of 800. 1t is no
secret that shipments have been made from
South Omaha to Chicago by commission
firms of stuff that they had bought aud that
actually belonged to them. The complaints
are not all confined to South Omaha as there
are other packing points in the state. The
shippers as class have a good opinion of the
live stock men ard believe them to be as hon
est and trustworthy as the same number of
men engaged in any branch OF business, but
possibly they may consider 1t dlsreputable
for them to be a competitor of a shipper in
the country. a seller. Of his stuff in the stock
yards aud buyer Of the same stock all at
the same time but the shippers do not pro-
pose to encourage any such combinations
and that was the import of a very mild resO-
luton passed at their meeting.
The, shippers know full we'll what they
were talking about and some of the South
Omaha commission men know the same facts
and have so stated.
The shippers pay well for the work done
and all they ask is correct returns for just
what their stock sells for to actual purchas-
ers. and for commission men to contiDe them
selves to a legitimate commission business,
which will win in the end.

The board of education met last night
with full attendance of members. A
number Of applications for positions as
assistant teachers were received and re-
ferred to the conmistee on teachers and
text books. The, ,ye2ed question of base
ment school rooms vas brought up by a
protest of Mr.. j., II. Reed against the
further use of the basement OF the Long
school. The petitioner stated his two
children, who haye been attending school
in the basement, are'continually becom-
ing sick as result of the confinement in
the damp, unhealthy basement. Mr..
Coburn moved that the two basement
rooms in the Long school, two in the
Leavenworth and one in the lizard be va
Gated at the close Of the present week.
Members Davis, Livesey, Clark and the
claiming that there should be some pro.
vision made for the accommodation of
children now attending the basement
rooms before the rooms are vacated.
Those favoring the motion claimed that
it should be adopted as no steps would
be taken to secure other rooms until the
Easements were vacated. The motion
prevailed and the committee on buildings
and property was instructed to secure
students now attending in the basement
rooms.
The committee on buildings and and
property reported that they had rented
room on South Thirteenth street for one
year for the relief of Center street school.
Mr.. COnoyer's resolution, authorizing
the payment of the teachers pay roll as
soon as approved BY the committee on
claims, so the teachers can draw their
pay for March before vacation, was
adopted.
The members then indulged in little
amusement in an effort to change the
name of the Georgia avenue school, Mr.
Blackburn proposed the name of Park
school. Mr.. Coburn wanted 1t called
Blackburn school; Mr.. Long proposed the
name of Mann school, and Mr.. Clark that
of Garfield. After good deal of voting
and more comment the propositions were
all voted down.
The architects who are to furnish plans
for the new buildings at the corner of
Twenty.eighth and Webster and in
Omaha View were required to furnish
the board with duplicate plans and the
time Tor receiving bids for the construc.
ton of the buildings was extended until
April 1S.
On motion of Mr.. Davis the vote, by
which the architects were instructed to
and hot air systems of ventilation
IN the proposed buildings. was reconsid-
cred ana the instruction given to prepare
the plans for the steam heating system.
This was also afterwards reconsidered
and made the special order for an ad-
journed meeting to be held on " ednes-
day afternoon at 5 o'clock.
The board then took up the amend.
ments that are proposed to the school
law now pending In the legislature: 1t
board that the number of the members of
the board shall not be increased; that the
time of election be the first Monday in
April; that the board have the power to
fix the salary of the secretary, and that
the members Of the board be chosen by a
general vote and notify wards.
